Gordon Bennett, this is embarrassing to watch.
I don’t know which makes me cringe more, the poor chap trying to explain how he uh believes, uhh, he believes that people uhhh, that people have uh rights, or the horse-voiced eejit in the back raving about how PEOPLE have DIED because of this CULT. The encounter trainwrecks merrily along until, in an ingenious piece of off-the-hookery, they decide the guy was a plant. Aha! So when you were standing there looking like complete and utter gormless twazzocks, that was just Scientology trying to discredit you! Bualadh bos lads, buladh bos.

I think it would improve their image to call themselves the “Church of Scien-LOL-ogy”.
On a serious note V wouldn’t much approve of that kind of twat wearing his face while preaching their twattery.
They call themselves “Project Chanology” so, you know, mild pun alert.
Re V for Vendetta: Alan Moore (who wrote the comic) hated the film because he thought it had been twisted into the American left vs. the American right, as opposed to hardcore anarchism vs. hardcore fascism as it was in the source material. So if you look at it that way, the new V is right up Anonymous Alley.
I didn’t know people protested in Dublin. Very weird as according to the last census there were no scientologist in Ireland dum dum dum
There is a Scientology Centre on Abbey St, and as far as I know they do occasionally go out giving people questionnaires and the like (kind of a personality test, the results of which are invariably “zomg you should be a scientologist!!!”). I don’t know what kind of numbers they have in Ireland.
